Evernote Business Notebook

Share options currently available when sharing Evernote Business Notebook pages from iOS devices

Evernote Business Notebook by Moleskine makes it easy to choose what you want to share with others and automatically add Reminders to any pages captured into Evernote.

Share everything or share what matters the most

With Evernote Business Notebook by Moleskine, you can share everything in a note, or just the section that is relevant to others in a meeting, on your team, or at an event.

Each page is divided into two sections:

Top section: For sharing with others

Bottom section: For yourself

To share only the top portion of the note, share the note through email (not Work Chat) using Evernote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Select Share Top Section Only when prompted. You'll see the cropped image in the email preview.

Scanned page is optimized and saved

Tap 'Share Top Section Only'

Recipients only see top section of note

The entire note is always saved into a notebook in your Evernote account, so if that notebook or note link is shared with other users they will see the entire note, including the bottom private section of your notes.

Add reminders

To add an Evernote reminder to any notebook page captured into Evernote, simply check the reminder box at the top of the page. Reminders will appear in the reminder checklist at the top of your Evernote note list. Inside Evernote, you can edit a reminder to add an alarm notification and email.

Some tips to ensure you get the best results when capturing Evernote Notebook pages

Tips & Techniques

Follow these tips for optimal results:

Write clearly with dark ink for best handwriting recognition.

Lay the notebook flat on a dark background. Edges of the page will be detected automatically as long as there is a contrast between the page and background.

Lay the green bookmark string flat between the two pages so the page edge is detected and cropped.

If not already on, turn on the camera flash or capture images in good, even background light (between many lights, or in indirect sunlight).

Position your device so that the entire page, including the edges, is visible within the camera viewing area. Tap anywhere on the image capture area of the screen to keep image in focus.

The default mode on the iOS Evernote camera is set to 'auto-capture', so the notebook page will automatically be detected and captured. On Android devices, tap the shutter button once you're ready to capture the page.

Note: Always make sure you've installed the latest version of Evernote
